i am also interested in this laptop. Have been to currys where it is £499 but for some reason across the road pcworld has it at £599?

use email10 to get 10% off at currys. I am thinking of getting this laptop, best I have seen for under £500, good screen too. However I might wait till Ms Vista comes out in January and laptops will come with that preinstalled.

Yes its a good laptop.

is it true that if you buy a laptop from currys or pcworld you can get a free upgrade to vista?

i prefer to use xp till they iron out all the major bugs from vista.

.... and if it breaks down in the first year of ownership, Toshiba will not only fix the machine and send it back or give you a replacement but will also give you your FULL purchase price back as well.

I rang Toshiba and asked them ~
"does this extend to other products"?
"No Sir, only the items in the ad" came back the jovial reply.
"So why is Toshiba only offering this to these select items" I asked inquisitively.
"Toshiba have periodic offers available throughout the range at various times" came the colder reply.
"And could you now tell me the real reason why these two particular models are being offered with the benefits outlined" I politely asked.

I think it only has 256mb of memory which is pretty poor these days.so you might have to allow another 50 quid to put in at least another 500mb .
